  1. DONT BUY CONSOLES!!! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    dont buy PS2, N64, Sega DC, XBOX, ..

    My reason: no full specification of the consoles, and the console secretly crash if you open it. Then you should re-buy another same console ... you lose much money .. and the enterprise wins your money lost ..
